How to install a router
Installing a router is not tricky and does not take much time. Connecting and configuring takes longer. First, it is worth checking the presence of all components, so that the installation is correct:
· The router itself.
· Power Supply.
· Internet cable, which must be provided by the company or provider.
· For the first installation, you need to use a local (direct) internet connection so that there is no interference.
Once you have found everything you need, you can proceed with a fairly simple installation. First you need to figure out how to connect the Internet to the router using an Internet cable. We designated the connector for this cable with number 2. After that, you need to connect using a network LAN cable. All that remains is to connect the router to the power supply by inserting one end of the power cord into the 220-watt power grid, and the other side into the connector number 4. Then press the power button. We act in this order.
Install, as you can see, is not difficult. After these steps, the router should start starting up. This completes the installation of the router, further debugging is done using a specific page built into the router.

Attention! The PC or laptop should be connected to the router, and not to the Internet cable.
After switching to the page, a window with data entry fields will appear.
Here you need to register the user name and password. When the router is just purchased, the default login and password are the same - “admin”. After full debugging, it is recommended to change both username and password to exclude the possibility of hacking.
There are times when the router has already been operated before, then the name and password sometimes differ from the standard ones. In order to fix the ASUS RT N12 device, the firmware is returned to its original state. To do this, you need to hold down the key, which was designated above as number 6. You need to clamp it with some thin object, the easiest way is with a paper clip. Hold the key for 7 seconds. After that, all changed router settings will return to their initial state.
If these manipulations do not help, the router does not return to the standard settings, then the setting should be performed by a specialist whose range of work includes the ASUS RT N12 firmware. You can cope with this task yourself, but the firmware of the router is not a standard situation for regular user... It is much more difficult to reflash a router.
Internet connection with full setup
In order to connect the Internet to the router, on the opened site you need to go to the router settings. Then - "additional settings". We select the "WAN" item we need (this is an Internet connection setting).
In the main settings, you need to set the following data:
· Type of WAN connection - choose here PPPoE (the most popular) or L2TP for Beeline (check with your provider).
· Enable WAN - our choice is "yes".
· Enable NAT - our choice is "yes".
· Enable UPnP - our choice is "yes".
In the next window, under the name of setting the WAN IP address, opposite the line "Obtain WAN IP address automatically" we need to mark the answer - "yes".
Configuring DNS WAN, similar to the points that went before, opposite to "Connect to DNS server automatically" you need to put the option - "yes".
In the username field, as you might have guessed, you need to register your number or login, which is provided by the Internet provider to log into the Internet.
The password is identical.
Some fields are allowed to be skipped. In the VPN server, enter the one provided by your Internet provider. If you are configuring the ASUS RT N12 router for beeline, then this is “tp.internet.beeline.ru”, you do not need to mark anything for Rostelecom.
After all this procedure, click on the "Apply" button. This completes the setting of the Internet itself on the router.
Internet connection using quick setup
The ASUS RT N12's quick setup can dramatically reduce the time it takes to full customization router. On home page press the "Go" or "Go" button of the router.
The router will then automatically detect your connection type. Although he himself will determine the necessary parameters, the login and password for the Internet will still need to be registered with the knobs in the WiFi settings.
Configuring Wireless Mode
Setting up ASUS RT N12 in wi-fi mode is quite simple thanks to the “quick setup”. The final stage quick setup- debugging of the wireless network parameters. Here you can set the SSID and network key or password.
They also perform the setting in manual mode... Here we go to the "Wireless network" window, we only need to set a few parameters. Among them:

How do I perform port forwarding? Let's talk about how to open ports on the ASUS RT N12 C1 router, here the setup is quick. Since this is just an add-on, the instructions will be very concise. We act according to the following scheme:
192.168.1.1 (address) -> Local network tab -> DHCP server window -> Enable manual assignment field - "Yes" -> MAC address (here you need to select required computer, which will be assigned a static address) -> Select and apply (after you have selected the desired PC).

Today's talk will be about resetting the settings and password on the Asus router. The model line of the manufacturer is large, so I will try to show everything possible options reset to factory settings. Let's take the popular Asus RT-N12 router as a basic example.
What are the factory settings of the router?
Factory settings, or it is also called "default", is the state in which the router was when you took it out of the box for the first time. Some primary parameters are already set in it - for example, the address, data for entering the cabinet, the standard name of the network, and some others.
In the process of using it, during, you change them to your own, depending on the type of Internet connection and the necessary functions for the operation.
But over time, you can move to another apartment, change the provider. And in order not to bathe for a long time with detailed changes in its configurations, it is easier to reset the Asus router to factory settings in order to install everything from scratch for a new connection.
How do I reset my ASUS router to factory settings?
In general, I note that resetting the router to the factory settings solves a lot of glitches that appeared during operation. And what if the Internet does not work, WiFi is not distributed, the device is buggy and in general there is all sorts of nonsense that was not there from the very beginning of operation. In 90% of cases, it is treated full dump router.
ATTENTION! After the reset, you will need an Asus router. All previous data will be erased!
How to reset Asus router to factory settings with the button?
First of all, you can return to the factory state with the "Reset" button on the rear edge. On the Asus RT-N12 router, it is carried out with a separate button, which is recessed into the case to protect it from accidental pressing. To activate the function, you need to take a paper clip and hold it for 10-15 seconds.
But on some models, the reset button is combined with. it automatic connection to the router of other devices. So, for example, it was done in Asus RT-N11P. Then the return to the factory settings is carried out by long pressing on it until the LEDs flash.
By the way, this option is also suitable for resetting the password on an Asus router. If you do not know it or have forgotten it and cannot log in under account administrator in the device control panel. How without this cardinal method, we wrote separately.
Software reset on the Asus router
The second way to reset the Asus RT-N12 settings is from the control panel, which is located at 192.168.1.1. Read more about that also in another publication.
Here we need to go to the "Administration" section, the "Settings Management" tab.
Well, to reset the parameters, click on the "Factory settings" button and wait.
On earlier Asus models with old version personal account, the reset function is located in the same section "Administration". The difference is purely in the external design of the interface
That's all - I note that this manual will also be relevant for devices from other companies. Well, for completeness, you can also
Hello! Continuing the topic of routers. To be more precise, today I will tell you how and why they reset the settings to the default values. Our portal will most likely have instructions for routers different manufacturers... And I chose to reset the settings on the Asus router.
If in the course of reading you have any questions, or want to add something, be sure to write in the comments!
Why is this needed?
The option "Reset to factory settings" is available on all routers, regardless of the brand and model. What is this feature for? There are three main points when it can come in handy:
- When you set up a Wi-Fi router, you changed the login and password for accessing the administrative panel. It was necessary to change some parameters, but it turned out that the authorization data had been safely forgotten, and the piece of paper with the records was lost. Then the reset to the standard settings will be relevant. But there is one thing - be prepared to configure the router again.
- If in the process of working in the web interface you saved incorrect parameters, RESET will also help here. After restoring factory settings, you can reconfigure the device.
- In some cases, resetting helps to remove some problems with the router.
And the most important thing. How do I restore factory settings? There are two options that work for all routers:
- Press the RESET button on the device itself;
- Use the web interface (of course, if you remember your username / password).
Now you can move on to the main question - how to reset the Wi-Fi settings of an Asus router?
Immediately I suggest watching a video on the topic:
Hardware method
The easiest option is to press the button on the back of the device. On Asus models RT N16 resetting the parameters to the factory settings is done by pressing and holding the RESET button on the back of the device for 5-7 minutes.
The method is suitable for most models of routers from this company. On some older devices, the reset button is named RESTORE.
There may be such an option - the button is not signed. Look for the one recessed into the panel. Usually, you need to use a paper clip or needle to press RESET.
What if the button performs two functions - reset and WPS (intended for simplified connection to Wi-Fi networks)? In this case, hold for at least 10 seconds.
Programmatic way
A more complex option, but you need to know it. I will tell you how to reset to factory settings via the admin panel using the Asus RT N12 as an example:
- We open any browser and fill in the IP of the router in the address bar (not in the search one!). We have it 192.168.1.1. In the authorization menu, write your login / password. If you did not change them to your own, then this word is admin in both fields.
- In the "Additional settings" section, look for the "Administration" line. At the top, select the "Settings Management" tab.
- In the window that opens, we find "Factory settings" and press the button opposite "Restore".
- Now you need to confirm your intentions. In the confirmation window, click "Ok".
The router will reboot. The process takes a couple of minutes. Then you can re-enter admin panel and configure the router.
If the web interface is in English, you can reset the settings on the Asus router like this. We are looking for the "Administration" item, the "Restore / Save / Upload Setting" tab and click on "Restore".
Resetting the settings to Asus routers RT N10, N14, N18U, AC1200 and other models can be done as well - either with a button or through the control panel.
We are waiting for questions and comments. Be sure to write if something did not work out or if you need help setting up the router after restoring the factory settings. Bye everyone!
